Most clients suffer when a loss occurs because they don’t know their insurance rights. However, the terms and conditions of the policy are usually set out in the product disclosure statements and policy documents available on the insurer’s website. These documents can be as long as 30 pages or more and include everything that the insurer does not cover including deliberate acts, specific preexisting health problems, suicide within the first 13 months of the insurance policy and many more.

In case you have any preexisting health problems, it is very essential that you inform the insurance company.
